Just crossed 1PB total upload, felt like bragging a bit. I'm sure others who have been at this for years and years would put my numbers to shame, but I was excited to see that 4th digit tick over! :)

    I get the joke, but it's weird for me that my highest ratio is for a Debian 13.3 ISO - 767MB down, 13.85GB up

    20:1 is crazy! Maybe I'm just interested in niche stuff, but I struggle to keep mine in the 1:1-2:1 range :(

    If you want to increase your ratio you can just seed something popular

    That's why I keep my Arch Linux ISO up to date, according to my qbittorrent stats thats one of my most popular seeds so it helps the ratio out. Plus it's really useful to have as a rescue system for when I nuke my machine 🙃

    Don't you need another dozen or so TB? I thought it was 1024, not 1000, to the next unit

    Correct 1 PiB = 1024 TiB. That’s why the lower case i is shown to denote they’re using base 2 instead of base 10.

    But the good news is that 1011 TiB = 1.1 PB so OP actually crossed that milestone a while ago.

    Mine actually says PiB, which is fun.

    Best ratio torrent is Dune 2021 with a ratio of 4523:1 😅
    To be fair, this is on a machine that runs 24/7 and has been active for 3 years now.

    Wow! I hit 100TB a couple months ago after about 8ish months of running it. 1 PB is truly incredible

    All just public trackers. I haven't been able to get into any private invites, but aside from some niche stuff, the public ones have been serving me well enough.

    Honestly at least in US the ISPs couldn't care less until a studio or something comes after them. But I have qbittorrent bound to a VPN, which is enough.

    My ISP throttles my shit crazy when I start any torrent... My ratio is like .02 because I can't upload anything almost ever even at 50~ mbps. I've tried the "use a random port every restart" and it is still ass. Suggestions welcome

    Are you using a VPN that allows port forwarding? It took me a couple months of slow uploads to realize that was my problem.

    Yeah, I use PIA and I've tried the "request port forwarding" option as well as in my firewall and modem ¯_(ツ)_/¯ my modem is from the ISP and kinda turbo shit so I was thinking of getting my own but haven't yet lol

    Make sure you put the port you’re being assigned into your necessary application. Also note that it can change when you disconnect and reconnect so you periodically want to make sure the port in your application matches the port assigned to you by PIA.

    so you actually have no idea whether "your ISP throttles your shit crazy". it probably does not, because if you are using vpn, that would affect all your other traffic as well.

    try to stop using the vpn and test the behaviour of the torrent again.

    He’d be insane to complain about this if the didn’t have port forwarding setup

    I was thinking more about the 1 PB upload. Most ISPs here would complain about that.

    Gotcha. Yeah, I just have a standard 1gig residential fiber connection with unlimited data from a large US telco. I'm sure there is some provision in the T&Cs where they could cap your data, but so far they are holding to the "unlimited" statement.

    how are they ok with what, people using service they paid for? they are quite okey, that is how their business works, they provide service and people give them money.

    imagine they go so far that they put up ads to find more such people!
